House debates Questions without Notice

National Broadband Network

Tuesday, 26 October 2010 House of Representatives

Malcolm Turnbull

Malcolm Turnbull Wentworth, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Communications and Broadband

My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. I refer the minister to his statement of 16 October 2008:

Importantly, we established Infrastructure Australia to ensure that proper cost-benefit analysis was brought to the assessment of the nation’s infrastructure needs and the merits of individual projects.

If the government’s policy remains that for all major projects there should be a fully available cost-benefit analysis, why is this not the case with the National Broadband Network?
